Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Make save_stack_address() !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER friendly

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n, print_context_stack() shouldn't neglect the
non-reliable addresses on stack, this is all we have if dump_trace(bp)
is called with the wrong or zero bp.

For example, /proc/pid/stack doesn't work if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n.

This patch obviously has no effect if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y, otherwise
it reverts 1650743c "x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entries".

Also, remove the unnecessary type-cast.
